One Outlier Piece beats a hundred unfinished files, and you can build yours in only 5 days.

I wanted to say right off the bat that the course and the community are worth so much more than what’s being offered.

In it, I learned the entire industry pipeline, from reading and interpreting the briefing, to creating a silhouette (and what makes a good silhouette) to the theory, photobashing, and all the way through to the final project deliverable.

Before I enrolled in the course, I was really confused about which path to take; I wasn’t able to make connections or prospect clients. I was stuck.

After I enrolled in the course, a light bulb went off in my head. I’ve always loved creating and drawing. And the cool thing is that Augusto’s method gave me a new direction and, most importantly, as I always joke with my friends, Augusto actually taught me how to do proper research and how to truly interpret a briefing.

I learned many new techniques in photobashing, silhouette, and 3D. But I focused mainly on the skills I lacked. Even though I already had a solid foundation, there was still a lot I didn’t know, and this opened up many more possibilities for results that I hadn’t had before.

And the main point was the feedback, the meetings, and the Q&A sessions, which I’ve noticed aren’t as hands-on in most other courses.

I’ll tell you, it was the best decision I’ve ever made in my entire life. Augusto really taught me his entire methodology, from practice to theory, step by step.

Everything was focused on the industry: how to develop projects, how to build a portfolio, without any mystery and in a very open way.

I noticed a significant improvement in the quality of the work, and what was most important to me was understanding the industry’s workflow and learning the techniques used to deliver professional-level work.

The most important part of this improvement is related to two factors: 1. Augusto is the one who provides feedback on the work submitted to him and guides the development of your art. 2. The Discord community, which makes all the difference in your journey and progress.

Before the course, I felt like I had some technical knowledge, but I didn’t really know how to turn it into a professional process. A lot of the time, I would start a project without knowing exactly which steps to follow, and I would end up getting lost along the way.

After joining the course, I started to understand much better how the industry actually works and how to organize my process from beginning to end. Augusto’s methodology especially helped me think more clearly before jumping into execution.

Now I’m able to develop my projects with much more clarity, understanding why I’m making each decision and what I need to improve at every stage.

One of the biggest changes for me was the way I started looking at my own projects.

Before, I would simply start drawing and try to come up with something interesting. After the course, I began to understand the importance of references, briefing, research, silhouettes, and idea development before reaching the final artwork.

Besides the techniques I learned, Augusto’s feedback was essential in helping me notice mistakes that I probably wouldn’t have been able to identify on my own.

I feel like my work has become much more consistent and much closer to the professional level I was aiming for.

I had already been studying concept art before joining the course, but I still felt like something was missing for me to really improve.

The course showed me that it wasn’t just about learning new techniques, but about understanding the entire thought process behind a professional project.

Learning how to research, interpret a briefing, explore ideas, and receive feedback throughout the process completely changed the way I work.

The community also made a huge difference. Being able to follow other people’s work, exchange experiences, and improve together made the whole learning experience much more complete.
